check engine light NISSAN PICK-UP 1998 Repair Manual

On-vehicle Service
OPERATING CHECK
lDepress brake pedal several times with engine off. After
exhausting vacuum, make sure there is no change in pedal
stroke.
lDepress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECK
lStart engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. Booster is airtight if pedal
stroke is less each time.
lDepress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop
engine with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not
change after holding pedal down for30 seconds.
Removal
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
lBe careful not to deform or bend brake pipes during
removal of booster.
Inspection

lCheck thrust rings for wear or damage by shaking cover
assembly up and down to listen for chattering noise, or lightly
hammering on rivets for a slightly cracked noise. Replace
clutch cover assembly if necessary.
lCheck pressure plate and clutch disc contact surface for
slight burns or discoloration. Repair pressure plate with
emery paper.
lCheck pressure plate and clutch disc contact surface for
deformation or damage. Replace if necessary.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The malfunction indicator lamp is located on the instrument
panel.
1. The malfunction indicator lamp will light up when the ignition
switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is for
checking the blown lamp.
lIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not light up, see the
WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME in the EL section.
(Or see EC-173, 174.)
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator lamp
should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
The on board diagnostic system has the following four functions.
Diagnostic Test Mode I
1. BULB CHECK : This function checks the bulb for damage (blown, open circuit, etc.) of
the malfunction indicator lamp.
If the MIL does not come on, check MIL circuit and ECM test mode
selector. (See next page.)
2. MALFUNCTION
WARNING: This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is detected, the
MIL will light up to inform the driver that a malfunction has been
detected.
Diagnostic Test Mode II
3. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS: This function allows DTCs to be read.
4. HEATED OXYGEN
SENSOR MONITOR: This function allows the fuel mixture condition (lean or rich), monitored
by heated oxygen sensor, to be read.
MIL Flashing without DTC
If the ECM is in Diagnostic Test Mode II, the MIL may flash when the engine is running. In this case, check
ECM test mode selector following ``HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES'' on next page.
How to switch the diagnostic test (function) modes and details of the above functions are described later.
(See page EC-39, 41.)
